We waited until Scott came home from work so we could all vote together. We’d talked about the election at home in terms of choosing and voice, but never in terms of politics or candidates because she has her whole life to get worked up over things like that. During the day, we watched a special episode of Daniel Tiger’s… Read more →

How To Survive A [Toddler] Sick Day
So you and your kid have made it safely to the first day of preschool. Congratulations! You ain’t seen nothing yet. I thought leaving the baby years behind meant that I could finally take a deep breath for a minute and celebrate this milestone. That is…until I realized that the air around me is filled with a preschool class’s hoard… Read more →
Celebrate Freedom + Win A Robot
We call her Rosie. {Get it? Rosie the Robot?} She’s not just an automatic vacuum cleaner. She’s a full blown freaking robot. Wheels get stuck? She backs up and unravels herself. Cord in her way? She pops up and over it. Stepped in her path? She’ll go around you. Dropped something while she’s working? She’ll take note and come back… Read more →
Stranded On Long Island, Branded A Fool… #OhSandy
Last week I winged it to New York for my beloved Lindsey’s wedding. It was insanely beautiful. (Seriously, you should watch their vows. Insane.) But then this trip took something of an unexpected turn. My flight home was cancelled in anticipation of Hurricane Sandy. Then my replacement flight was cancelled. And then another one. …And Sandy wasn’t showing any signs… Read more →
It’s Fitting That My Last Post Was About Tinkerbell Because I Finally Freaking Did It.
I went full pixie. My once-rockabilly husband had to show me how to work the pomp, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. I basically love it. What do you think?! (Photos by Sara) Read more →
I Want The Name Of Her Surgeon Because Tinkerbell Looks Incredible For 50
Seriously. Look at those lids: As the story goes, I had just turned three when my best friend and I were both cast as Tinker Bell in the pre-school year end performance of Peter Pan. One set of wings + Two Best Friend Tinker Bells = Two one-winged fairies (or one two-headed fairy, either way, that’s friendship.) At my eighteenth… Read more →
Your Presence Is Our Present
Dudes, this mysterious work/life balance is hard. Last week it tipped on the life end of the scale for once and it felt really damn good. {Or, rather it felt really damn good the first part of the week until the work side of the scale got all overloaded and reality came crashing down. Still. Worth it.} {The only decent… Read more →
Father/Daughter Conversations
[That is the Lalaloopsy Crumbs Dress that Delilah got for her birthday. She is obsessed with it, only she thinks it is the dress Belle wore in Beauty And The Beast. Last night, outfitted in her new favorite frock, fancy shoes, and a gold purse, she announced she was going to the store. When she “returned” the following conversation took… Read more →
Living At The Speed Of Life
She turned three this week and I can hardly believe it. This morning, as I buckled her in for the ride to school, she announced: “Tomorrow me and Daddy are going to wash your car for you.” Is it any wonder I let her bathe herself in sugar this week? Sweet begets sweets, Sweets. Monday was her third birthday, but… Read more →
Just Because We CAN Photoshop Ourselves Beyond Recognition Doesn’t Mean We Should
My Sister-In-Law, Maegan (along with a group of fine fashion bloggers) recently lent her image to the fall catalogue of a popular handbag company. But what appeared in the catalogue wasn’t quite what she expected…I got all worked up and wrote about it over on Babble — I’m going to cut to the chase: After an email exchange in which… Read more →
